    Wild baby bird fell from nest!!!!

    I’m no bird genius but knowing what I know about chickens, either way they’d be wandering about. A lot of new information to absorb, fear, uncertainty. They’re damned if they do, damned if they don’t. Just gotta find some food, shelter etc. If they feel safe doing so - they’ll be strolling...

    Foot problem?

    She bounced back miraculously - is now fattening up and hopping about with the others. She's actually much friendlier than she was before the sickness - probably got used to being force fed and bathed and kept in a penthouse.

    Forever broody

    this post is a bit cross-purpose. One of our hens has been broody for about 4 weeks now and we don’t have a mature rooster. She’s lost a lot of weight and half her feathers - she’s a frizzle, about 18 months. We bought her and her nest inside and have been fattening her up. We’ve put her on...

    What breed is this?

    I just went back to have a look and yeah, in 6 weeks it’s unrecognisable. It seems to have just jumped out in the last two though. It’s like a coral

    What have we done?!

    Her and her sister never liked the brooder and slept under a teddy from day1 instead. They’re perfect, don’t care for snacks but crave human attention.
